Hi Michael
Some while ago, I commented that Clublog doesn't pick up on my Program type; even though eQSL and I think LOTW does. I was spurred on into looking at this; following comments about the Program stats on the Clublog page; and I noticed that ClubLog does not pick up on this 44% of the time (big percentage !!) I think I know the answer. Seems like PROGRAMID and PROGRAMVERSION are only available in ADIF 2; and I wonder how many other logging programs are still using ADIF 1, which is much simpler. I now suspect DX4WIN does; having looked at the ADIF According to ADIF 1 spec: "Optional header information may be included before the actual data in the file. To include optional header info, the first character of the file must be something other than <. Any amount of header info of any value except <eoh> may be included. The header info must be terminated with <eoh>. Any number of characters of any value except < may follow <eoh>. The first < after <eoh> is the start of the first field of the first data record in the file. Here is an example: this data was exported using WF1B RTTY version 9, conforming to ADIF standard specification version 9.99<eoh>" In the case of DX4WIN; the header is: DX4WIN ADIF Export V1.0 <eoh> Is it possible to determine characteristics of the first line ; to improve the coverage of this report ?? Have to say that I can't imagine many more logging program variants that may still be using ADIF 1; looking at the number of programs used ! I have cross-posted this to the DX4WIN reflector; I would suggest that listing the most popular software is a good market survey initiative; maybe Paul would like to consider moving to ADIF 2 when he sees that DX4WIN is not listed here: http://www.clublog.org/software.php 73 Dave G3NKC ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
